Nigeria and Saudi Arabia U20 squads are at each other’s jugular in Vienna, Austria on Sunday evening as both teams continue to perfect their preparations for this year’s FIFA U20 World Cup finals in Poland.

According to thenff.com, both teams were scheduled to clash in a friendly in Jeddah earlier in the year but unforeseen events led to the cancellation. That meeting was meant to prepare seven-time African champions Nigeria for the Africa U20 Cup of Nations finals in Niger Republic in February.

While the Flying Eagles will confront Qatar, USA, and Ukraine in Group D at the FIFA U20 World Cup finals, Saudi Arabia will battle things out with Panama, Mali, and France in Group E.
